The Dalai Lama is a high lama in the Gelug or "Yellow Hat" school of Tibetan Buddhism, founded by Tsongkhapa (1357--1419). The name is a combination of the Mongolian word dalai meaning "Ocean" and the Tibetan word bla-ma (with a silent "b") meaning "guru, teacher". According to Tibetan Buddhist doctrine, the Dalai Lama is the rebirth in a line of tulkus who are metaphorically considered to be manifestations of the bodhisattva of compassion, Avalokiteśvara. The Dalai Lama is often thought to be the leader of the Gelug School, but this position belongs officially to the Ganden Tripa, which is a temporary position appointed by the Dalai Lama who, in practice, exerts much influence. The line of Dalai Lamas began as a lineage of spiritual teachers; the 5th Dalai Lama assumed political authority over Tibet.
For certain periods between the 17th century and 1959, the Dalai Lamas sometimes directed the Tibetan government, which administered portions of Tibet from Lhasa. The 14th Dalai Lama remained the head of state for the Central Tibetan Administration ("Tibetan government in exile") until his retirement on March 14, 2011. He has indicated that the institution of the Dalai Lama may be abolished in the future, and also that the next Dalai Lama may be found outside Tibet and may be female. The Chinese government rejected this and asserted that only it has the authority to select the next Dalai Lama.
The 14th Dalai Lama (religious name: Tenzin Gyatso, shortened from Jetsun Jamphel Ngawang Lobsang Yeshe Tenzin Gyatso, born Lhamo Dondrub, 6 July 1935) is the 14th and current Dalai Lama, as well as the longest lived incumbent. Dalai Lamas are the head monks of the Gelugpa lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989, and is also well known for his lifelong advocacy for Tibetans inside and outside Tibet.
The Dalai Lama was born in Taktser, Qinghai (also known to Tibetans as Amdo), and was selected as the rebirth of the 13th Dalai Lama two years later, although he was only formally recognized as the 14th Dalai Lama on 17 November1950, at the age of 15. The Gelug school's government administered an area roughly corresponding to the Tibet Autonomous Region just as the nascent People's Republic of China wished to assert central control over it. There is a dispute over whether the respective governments reached an agreement for a joint Chinese-Tibetan administration.
During the 1959 Tibetan uprising, which China regards as an uprising of feudal landlords, the Dalai Lama, who regards the uprising as an expression of widespread discontent, fled to India, where he denounced the People's Republic and established a Tibetan government in exile. He has since traveled the world, advocating for the welfare of Tibetans, teaching Tibetan Buddhism and talking about the importance of compassion as the source of a happy life. Around the world, institutions face pressure from China not to accept him. He has spoken about the environment, economics, women rights, non-violence, interfaith dialog, reproductive health, sexuality along with various Mahayana and Vajrayana topics.

The Dalai Lama is considered to be the successor in a line of tulkus who are believed to be incarnations of Avalokiteśvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion, called Chenrezig in Tibetan. The name is a combination of the Mongolic word dalai meaning "ocean" (being the translation of the Tibetan name, 'Gyatso') and the Tibetan word བླ་མ་ (bla-ma) meaning "guru, teacher, mentor". The Tibetan word "lama" corresponds to the better known Sanskrit word "guru".

Lama

Historically, the term was used for venerated spiritual masters or heads of monasteries. Today the title can be used as an honorific title conferred on a monk, nun or (in the Nyingma, Kagyu and Sakya schools) advanced tantric practitioner to designate a level of spiritual attainment and authority to teach, or may be part of a title such as Dalai Lama or Panchen Lama applied to a lineage of reincarnate lamas (Tulkus).

Perhaps due to misunderstandings by early western scholars attempting to understand Tibetan Buddhism, the term lama has historically been erroneously applied to Tibetan monks in general. Similarly, Tibetan Buddhism was referred to as "Lamaism" by early western scholars and travelers who perhaps did not understand that what they were witnessing was a form of Buddhism; they may also have been unaware of the distinction between Tibetan Buddhism and Bön. The term Lamaism is now considered by some to be derogatory.

The Tibetan Empire emerged in the 7th century, but with the fall of the empire the region soon divided into a variety of territories. The bulk of western and central Tibet (Ü-Tsang) was often at least nominally unified under a series of Tibetan governments in Lhasa, Shigatse, or nearby locations; these governments were at various times under Mongol and Chinese overlordship. The eastern regions of Kham and Amdo often maintained a more decentralized indigenous political structure, being divided among a number of small principalities and tribal groups, while also often falling more directly under Chinese rule after the Battle of Chamdo; most of this area was eventually incorporated into the Chinese provinces of Sichuan and Qinghai. The current borders of Tibet were generally established in the 18th century.

Biography

David Lama was born in 1990. His father is a mountain guide from Nepal and his mother is an InnsbruckAustria native. David was five years old when Himalaya veteran Peter Habeler first watched him climb in a climbing camp organized by him. Afterwards, Habeler immediately called his parents to tell them that their boy had an unusual talent. Lama then became part of the competition climbing team coached by Reinhold Scherer and Rupert Messner. He became the youngest person to compete at the world cup at age fifteen and the first to win both a lead and the bouldering world cup in his first season. In 2011 he retired from competition climbing and focused on mountaineering.

The High Lama that Builds

HighLama, we usually associate that title with someone who sits on the throne, wears silk brocade robes, and receives offerings. But His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche chooses to get off the throne onto the contruction site of the temple of Kechara, to personally supervise and give advice at dangerous, dusty, messy place like that, because HE CARES. His Eminence puts into practice what he teaches on the throne.

Set Himself On Fire A High Tibetan Lama Golok Tulku Sopa - Calling For Freedom in Tibet

Set Himself On Fire A High Tibetan Lama Golok Tulku Sopa - Calling For Freedom in Tibet

15 Tibetans have Self-Immolated Calling for Freedom in Tibet & Protest against China's 60+ years of Brutality on Tibetans inside Tibet. STAND UP FOR TIBET ! SIGN The Petition on: http://www.StandUpForTibet.org
Link http://phayul.com/news/article.aspx?id=30676&article=Tibet+is+burning+--+Third+self-immolation+in+three+days
January 9: Just a day after two Tibetans set their bodies on fire in eastern Tibet, another Tibetan, a reincarnate lama set himself ablaze on January 8, Sunday.
He urged Tibetans to stay united. Link http://www.rfa.org/english/news/tibet/unity-01202012161051.htmlSonam Wangyal (Sopa), a respected spiritual figure in his early forties from Golok in eastern Tibet passed away on the spot after drinking and spraying kerosene all over his body before lighting himself up according to sources in exile.
Citing sources in Tibet, RFA said that Sopa self-immolated in front of the police station of Darlag (in Chinese, Dari) county in Golog after shouting slogans calling for Tibet's freedom and the long life of Tibet's spiritual leader the Dalai Lama -- demands which have been common to all the 15 Tibetans who have self-immolated in Tibet since March 2011.
In leaflets that Sonam Wangyal distributed just before he set himself ablaze, he stated his fiery sacrifice was not for his "personal glory but for Tibet and the happiness of Tibetans," RFA said quoting a source from inside Tibet.
"The Tibetans should not lose their determination. The day of happiness will come for sure. For the Dalai Lama to live long, the Tibetans should not lose track of their path," Sonam Wangyal said in his last statement.
After Chinese security personnel confiscated his charred body, several hundred Tibetans reportedly marched to the police station to demand his remains.
According to the Dharamshala based Central Tibetan Administration (CTA), around 2,000 local Tibetans held a candlelight vigil urging the local police authorities to release his body.
"The local police averted further tension by agreeing to do so," the CTA report said.
RFA has reported that Chinese security forces are pouring into Darlag "amid indications that thousands of Tibetans are planning to turn up for a memorial service this week for Sopa at a monastery where he had served".
"Chinese authorities tightened security in Darlag, deploying additional security forces from the main town of Golog, as posters praising Sopa's act and calling for a boycott of Chinese goods appeared in the county," RFA report said.
At Bodh Gaya, the venue for the ongoing 32nd Kalachakra teachings, Tibetan pilgrims and refugees from Amdo Golok who have gathered here for the ten-day teachings organised a candle light in the evening to show support and solidarity with the plight of people inside Tibet, especially with the family of Sonam Wangyal.
==========================
Golok Tulku Sopa, highly respected lama of Nyenmo Gonpa in Tharlak set himself in fire the 8th January2012. His mother and father are from Golok Gabde. He had many students and took carre of old people and of many schools in Golok region, Amdo. He was also the head of Toncher Gonpa in Golok. Toncher Gonpa and Nyenmo Gonpa counte together more than 500 monks.
ཨ་མདོ་མགོ་ལོག་ཁུལ་སྤྲུལ་སྐུ་བསོད་པས་རང་ལུས་མེར་བསྲེགས་བཏང་ནས་རྒྱ་གཞུང་ལ་ངོ་རྒོལ་­སྤེལ་བ།
Before his self-immolation, he climbed a local hill, burned incense, prayed and posted many flyers around the walls of Tharlak County.
This is a translation of Sopa tulku's flyer:
I am self-immolating to commemorate Tibetans who have self-immolated since 2009 for our national freedom and religious freedom, and for liberty and freedom of speech.
I am not self-immolating for my personal interests or problems, but I do it for 6 million of Tibetan people who have no freedom and for the retourn of Dalai Lama in Tibet. Tibetan people need to unite to help each other and to work hard for the future of Tibet.
Don't loose hope, there will be a happy day."
Dressed in the yellow outer gown of an ordained monk, he set himself alight at around 6 a.m. after he drank and threw kerosene all over his body. His body exploded in pieces taken away by police.
Lama Sopa was so generous and so beloved that almoust 2000 Tibetan nomads marched to the police station to demand his remains, and when their request was denied, the protesters smashed doors of the local police station to get his remains by themselves.
When the police finally handed over Sopa's remains, the protesters paraded the body in the streets.
Tibetans planned to organize a large prayer session comprising about 2,000 people at Sopa's monastery.

Shaggy and Scooby-Doo wind up on the wrong flight and wind up going to India, ruining the Mystery Inc. gang's vacation in Paris. They learn about the Snowman and are really afraid, of course. Then it becomes a huge mystery to solve when Fred, Daphne and Velma try to find Scooby and Shaggy, as well as the snow creature.

Plot: During World War II, David Simms pilots supplies between India and China over the Himalaya Mountains. One day he's forced to miss a flight and is replaced by his friend, Bill March. March's plane is lost en route and Simms feels guilty. Back in America he meets March's widow, Elaine. They marry and then both travel to Tibet to learn more about March's fate and about a mysterious Tibetan mask which has come into their possession.

Quotes:

Robert Conway: I think I'm going to like it here.

[last lines]::Lord Gainsford: Gentlemen, I give you a toast. Here's my hope that Robert Conway will find his Shangri-La. Here's my hope that we all find our Shangri-La.

[a content Conway concluding a romantic interlude with Sondra]::Robert Conway: You know, when we were on that plane, I was fascinated by the way the shadow followed us. That silly shadow! Racing along over mountains and valleys, covering ten times the distance of the plane, and yet always there to greet us... with outstretched arms when we landed. And I've been thinking that, somehow, you're that plane, and I'm that silly shadow. That all my life I've been rushing up and down hills, leaping rivers, crashing over obstacles, never dreaming that one day that beautiful thing in flight would land on this earth and into my arms.

High Lama: I wanted to meet the Conway who in one of his books said: "There are moments in every mans life, when he glimpses the eternal". That Conway seemed to belong here.

High Lama: It is the entire meaning and purpose of Shangri-La. It came to me in a vision, long, long ago. I saw all the nations strengthening, not in wisdom, but in the vulgar passions and the will to destroy. I saw the machine power multiplying, until a single weaponed man might match a whole army. I foresaw a time when man, exalting in the technique of murder, would rage so hotly over the world, that every book, every treasure, would be doomed to destruction. This vision was so vivid and so moving, that I determined to gather together all things of beauty and of culture that I could, and preserve them here, against the doom toward which the world is rushing. Look at the world today. Is there anything more pitiful? What madness there is! What blindness! What unintelligent leadership! A scurrying mass of bewildered humanity, crashing headlong against each other, propelled by an orgy of greed and brutality. A time must come my friend, when this orgy will spend itself. When brutality and the lust for power must perish by its own sword. Against that time, is why I avoided death, and am here. And why you were brought here. For when that day comes, the world must begin to look for a new life. And it is our hope that they may find it here. For here, we shall be with their books and their music, and a way of life based on one simple rule: Be Kind! When that day comes, it is our hope that the brotherly love of Shangri-La will spread throughout the world. Yes, my son; When the strong have devoured each other, the Christian ethic may at last be fulfilled and the meek shall inherit the earth.::Robert Conway: I understand you father.

Robert Conway: George, didn't you ever want to know what's on the other side of the mountain?

Chang: Age is a limit we impose upon ourselves. You know, each time you Westerners celebrate your birthday, you build another fence around your minds.

[first lines]::Book Pages: In these days of wars and rumors of wars - haven't you ever dreamed of a place where there was peace and security, where living was not a struggle but a lasting delight? / Of course you have. So has every man since time began. Always the same dream. Sometimes he calls it Utopia - Sometimes the Fountain of Youth - Sometimes merely "that little chicken farm." / One man had such a dream and saw it come true. He was Robert Conway - England's "Man of the East" - soldier, diplomat, public hero. / Our story starts in the war-torn Chinese city of Baskul, where Robert Conway has been sent to evacuate ninety white people before they are butchered in a local revolution. / Baskul - the night of March 10, 1935.

Alexander P. 'Lovey' Lovett: [seeing banquet spread] Well I, I just feel as though I'm being made ready for the executioner.::Barnard: [sniffing foods] Yeah, well if this be executioner, lead me to it.::Alexander P. 'Lovey' Lovett: That's what they do with cattle, just before the slaughter.

The High Lama that Builds

But His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche chooses to get off the throne onto the contruction site of the temple of Kechara, to personally supervise and give advice at dangerous, dusty, messy place like that, because HE CARES. His Eminence puts into practice what he teaches on the throne.

The Dalai Lama is a high lama in the Gelug or "Yellow Hat" school of Tibetan Buddhism, founded by Tsongkhapa (1357--1419). The name is a combination of the Mongolian word dalai meaning "Ocean" and the Tibetan word bla-ma (with a silent "b") meaning "guru, teacher". According to Tibetan Buddhist doctrine, the Dalai Lama is the rebirth in a line of tulkus who are metaphorically considered to be manifestations of the bodhisattva of compassion, Avalokiteśvara.

HighLama, we usually associate that title with someone who sits on the throne, wears silk brocade robes, and receives offerings. But His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche chooses to get off the throne onto the contruction site of the temple of Kechara, to personally supervise and give advice at dangerous, dusty, messy place like that, because HE CARES. His Eminence puts into practice what he teaches on the throne.
说到"高僧"一词，我们通常会联想到一位坐在法座上、身穿绸缎袈裟接受众人供养的人，但是尊贵的詹杜固仁波切决定走下法座，到危机四伏、又热又脏又乱的建筑工地里去亲自监督建庙工程，只因他——关心众生。把在法座上所教导的佛法落实在现实生活中，言行一致，这就是——詹杜固仁波切。

David Lama and Conrad Anker became the first expedition ever to reach the headwall of Lunag Ri, a 6907 meter high mountain located at the border of Nepal and Tibet. The combination of untouched summit and demanding climbing was incredibly difficult from all sides, and the duo made it further than any expedition in years past. Rough weather conditions and limited time kept them from reaching the true summit, but the ascent itself made for one helluva breathtaking experience.

Boston School Boy Reincarnation Of Legendary 700 Year Old Buddhist Lama

DARJEELING, INDIA: Former Boston School boy, 11 year old Jigme Wangchuck, whose new name is Galwa Lorepa, was discovered two years ago to be the reincarnation of Galwa Lorepa, the high priest and founder of one of the four main schools of Tibetan Buddhism. Jigme claims to have realised his future destiny after a dream about his previous life as a high-priest. He will spend the next ten years studying at the Dali Monastery (Drukpa Sangag Choeling Monastery). His mother Dechen Martsa, Father Choesang Martsa and his sister Norzom Martsa has moved from their home in Boston, USA, to live near their son's monastery.

The Dalai Lama is a high lama in the Gelug or "Yellow Hat" school of Tibetan Buddhism, founded by Tsongkhapa (1357--1419). The name is a combination of the Mongolian word dalai meaning "Ocean" and the Tibetan word bla-ma (with a silent "b") meaning "guru, teacher". According to Tibetan Buddhist doctrine, the Dalai Lama is the rebirth in a line of tulkus who are metaphorically considered to be manifestations of the bodhisattva of compassion, Avalokiteśvara. The Dalai Lama is often thought to be the leader of the Gelug School, but this position belongs officially to the Ganden Tripa, which is a temporary position appointed by the Dalai Lama who, in practice, exerts much influence. The line of Dalai Lamas began as a lineage of spiritual teachers; the 5th Dalai Lama assumed political authority over Tibet.
For certain periods between the 17th century and 1959, the Dalai Lamas sometimes directed the Tibetan government, which administered portions of Tibet from Lhasa. The 14th Dalai Lama remained the head of state for the Central Tibetan Administration ("Tibetan government in exile") until his retirement on March 14, 2011. He has indicated that the institution of the Dalai Lama may be abolished in the future, and also that the next Dalai Lama may be found outside Tibet and may be female. The Chinese government rejected this and asserted that only it has the authority to select the next Dalai Lama.
The 14th Dalai Lama (religious name: Tenzin Gyatso, shortened from Jetsun Jamphel Ngawang Lobsang Yeshe Tenzin Gyatso, born Lhamo Dondrub, 6 July 1935) is the 14th and current Dalai Lama, as well as the longest lived incumbent. Dalai Lamas are the head monks of the Gelugpa lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989, and is also well known for his lifelong advocacy for Tibetans inside and outside Tibet.
The Dalai Lama was born in Taktser, Qinghai (also known to Tibetans as Amdo), and was selected as the rebirth of the 13th Dalai Lama two years later, although he was only formally recognized as the 14th Dalai Lama on 17 November1950, at the age of 15. The Gelug school's government administered an area roughly corresponding to the Tibet Autonomous Region just as the nascent People's Republic of China wished to assert central control over it. There is a dispute over whether the respective governments reached an agreement for a joint Chinese-Tibetan administration.
During the 1959 Tibetan uprising, which China regards as an uprising of feudal landlords, the Dalai Lama, who regards the uprising as an expression of widespread discontent, fled to India, where he denounced the People's Republic and established a Tibetan government in exile. He has since traveled the world, advocating for the welfare of Tibetans, teaching Tibetan Buddhism and talking about the importance of compassion as the source of a happy life. Around the world, institutions face pressure from China not to accept him. He has spoken about the environment, economics, women rights, non-violence, interfaith dialog, reproductive health, sexuality along with various Mahayana and Vajrayana topics.

He urged Tibetans to stay united. Link http://www.rfa.org/english/news/tibet/unity-01202012161051.htmlSonam Wangyal (Sopa), a respected spiritual figure in his early forties from Golok in eastern Tibet passed away on the spot after drinking and spraying kerosene all over his body before lighting himself up according to sources in exile.
Citing sources in Tibet, RFA said that Sopa self-immolated in front of the police station of Darlag (in Chinese, Dari) county in Golog after shouting slogans calling for Tibet's freedom and the long life of Tibet's spiritual leader the Dalai Lama -- demands which have been common to all the 15 Tibetans who have self-immolated in Tibet since March 2011.
In leaflets that Sonam Wangyal distributed just before he set himself ablaze, he stated his fiery sacrifice was not for his "personal glory but for Tibet and the happiness of Tibetans," RFA said quoting a source from inside Tibet.
"The Tibetans should not lose their determination. The day of happiness will come for sure. For the Dalai Lama to live long, the Tibetans should not lose track of their path," Sonam Wangyal said in his last statement.
After Chinese security personnel confiscated his charred body, several hundred Tibetans reportedly marched to the police station to demand his remains.
According to the Dharamshala based Central Tibetan Administration (CTA), around 2,000 local Tibetans held a candlelight vigil urging the local police authorities to release his body.
"The local police averted further tension by agreeing to do so," the CTA report said.
RFA has reported that Chinese security forces are pouring into Darlag "amid indications that thousands of Tibetans are planning to turn up for a memorial service this week for Sopa at a monastery where he had served".
"Chinese authorities tightened security in Darlag, deploying additional security forces from the main town of Golog, as posters praising Sopa's act and calling for a boycott of Chinese goods appeared in the county," RFA report said.
At Bodh Gaya, the venue for the ongoing 32nd Kalachakra teachings, Tibetan pilgrims and refugees from Amdo Golok who have gathered here for the ten-day teachings organised a candle light in the evening to show support and solidarity with the plight of people inside Tibet, especially with the family of Sonam Wangyal.
==========================
Golok Tulku Sopa, highly respected lama of Nyenmo Gonpa in Tharlak set himself in fire the 8th January2012. His mother and father are from Golok Gabde. He had many students and took carre of old people and of many schools in Golok region, Amdo. He was also the head of Toncher Gonpa in Golok. Toncher Gonpa and Nyenmo Gonpa counte together more than 500 monks.

Before his self-immolation, he climbed a local hill, burned incense, prayed and posted many flyers around the walls of Tharlak County.
This is a translation of Sopa tulku's flyer:
I am self-immolating to commemorate Tibetans who have self-immolated since 2009 for our national freedom and religious freedom, and for liberty and freedom of speech.
I am not self-immolating for my personal interests or problems, but I do it for 6 million of Tibetan people who have no freedom and for the retourn of Dalai Lama in Tibet. Tibetan people need to unite to help each other and to work hard for the future of Tibet.
Don't loose hope, there will be a happy day."
Dressed in the yellow outer gown of an ordained monk, he set himself alight at around 6 a.m. after he drank and threw kerosene all over his body. His body exploded in pieces taken away by police.
Lama Sopa was so generous and so beloved that almoust 2000 Tibetan nomads marched to the police station to demand his remains, and when their request was denied, the protesters smashed doors of the local police station to get his remains by themselves.
When the police finally handed over Sopa's remains, the protesters paraded the body in the streets.
Tibetans planned to organize a large prayer session comprising about 2,000 people at Sopa's monastery.

Dalai Lama's guide to happiness

This video looks at 'Buddhism and Happiness', as we ask are they a match made in heaven or something else? This eight minute epic reveals some incredible insights into human behaviour and values that impact our happiness, particularly in this materialistic Western life so many are living, or reaching for.
The Dalai Lama's talk is from his 'the quest for happiness' public talk in Adelaide during his 'Beyond Religion' tour in Australia.
While we would have ideally used footage of Tibetan monks in this video, we were unable to and instead used footage from our recent trip to Burma, where we acknowledge there may be subtle differences in how Buddhism is practiced. We do not mean to offend anyone by this and if you would like to fly us to Tibet to re-film this we'll happily take up the offer...

Interview with His Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama

His Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet speaks of the Nalanda school of Buddhist philosophy, how it originated in India, lived on in Tibet and now needs a revival in the land of its origin in a conversation with Sudha Gopalakrishnan, founder and director of Sahapedia. The Dalai Lama stresses the importance of education and awareness over prayer in the process of attaining inner peace, and the congruences between spiritual and scientific endeavours during this conversation. Calling for India to be a role model to the world, he says, 'I think India is the only country which can combine ancient knowledge which brings inner peace, with modern education and technology, which provide us physical comfort.'

I am a son of India, have survived on dal, rotis: Dalai Lama to NDTV

One of the world's most revered leaders and a Nobel Peace PrizeLaureate, the Dalai Lama in an exclusive interview to NDTV spoke for the first time on the self-immolation a few weeks ago of a 16-year-old Tibetan boy. Interestingly, he said he will not openly condemn these self immolations for the Tibetan cause though he is saddened by them. Speaking on the NDTV Dialogues, he said, "I expressed my sadness but I also expressed how much effect such a drastic step has. If you criticise, that is also difficult. If the family members hear the Dalai Lama criticise self-immolation, a negative attitude, they would be tremendously sad. I don't want that. I can't also encourage such incidents so I just keep quiet. Let the Chinese say what they say."

Chinese people are in need of the “peace, compassion and non-violence” advocated by Tibetan Buddhist culture, the Himalayan region’s exiled spiritual leader has said in a wide-ranging interview with FRANCE 24.
The 79-year-old Nobel Peace Prize-winner stressed the importance of preserving Tibetan culture, pointing to the “gap between rich and poor in China” and the country’s “immense corruption”.
China'sCommunist regime invaded Tibet in 1950. Today, many Tibetans feel their Buddhist culture risks being wiped out by Chinese rule and an influx of settlers from the majority Han ethnic group.
The Dalai Lama fled to neighbouring India in 1959 after Chinese troops crushed an attempted uprising in Tibet. He has never been allowed back.
Chinese officials view him as a “separatist”, though he says he only wants autonomy for the region.
In the interview aired on Wednesday, the exiled spiritual leader suggested hardliners in Beijing were holding President Xi Jinping back from granting genuine autonomy to the Himalayan region.
The Dalai Lama said he had been encouraged by Xi's recent comments on the importance of Buddhism in Chinese culture. "This is something very unusual," he said. "A communist, usually, we consider atheist."
Asked if the remarks led him to believe Xi was ready to discuss calls for genuine autonomy, the spiritual leader said he thought there were "some indications".
"But at the same time, among the establishment, there is a lot of hardliner thinking still there. So he himself sometimes finds it's a difficult situation," the Dalai Lama said.

The Dalai Lama's talk is from his 'the quest for happiness' public talk in Adelaide during his 'Beyond Religion' tour in Australia.
While we would have ideally used footage of Tibetan monks in this video, we were unable to and instead used footage from our recent trip to Burma, where we acknowledge there may be subtle differences in how Buddhism is practiced. We do not mean to offend anyone by this and if you would like to fly us to Tibet to re-film this we'll happily take up the offer.

His Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet speaks of the Nalanda school of Buddhist philosophy, how it originated in India, lived on in Tibet and now needs a revival in the land of its origin in a conversation with Sudha Gopalakrishnan, founder and director of Sahapedia. The Dalai Lama stresses the importance of education and awareness over prayer in the process of attaining inner peace, and the congruences between spiritual and scientific endeavours during this conversation. Calling for India to be a role model to the world, he says, 'I think India is the only country which can combine ancient knowledge which brings inner peace, with modern education and technology, which provide us physical comfort.'

One of the world's most revered leaders and a Nobel Peace PrizeLaureate, the Dalai Lama in an exclusive interview to NDTV spoke for the first time on the self-immolation a few weeks ago of a 16-year-old Tibetan boy. Interestingly, he said he will not openly condemn these self immolations for the Tibetan cause though he is saddened by them. Speaking on the NDTV Dialogues, he said, "I expressed my sadness but I also expressed how much effect such a drastic step has. If you criticise, that is also difficult. If the family members hear the Dalai Lama criticise self-immolation, a negative attitude, they would be tremendously sad. I don't want that. I can't also encourage such incidents so I just keep quiet. Let the Chinese say what they say."

The Truth About Dalai Lama

Dalai Lama is a title given to the leader and high priest of the Yellow Hat sect of Tibetan Buddhism, who is considered to be the incarnation of the bodhisattva - a human being who has achieved an "enlightened" state - of compassion.
Tenzin Gyatso, the main subject of this presentation, is the 14th Dalai Lama and is thought of as a reincarnation of his predecessor - the 13th.
Buddhism originated from the Buddha, a prince in northeastern India, who abandoned the ruling class in search of a way to end the cycle of reincarnation - which was a core principle in Indian hinduism - and thus overcome human suffering.

The Cremation of Lama Yeshe

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
1) Zong Rinpoche was a Dorje Shugden practitioner. Would a puja performed by Zong Rinpoche be effective since he was a Dorje Shugden practitioner?
Answer: Zong Rinpoche was well recognised to be a high lama with clear attainments. A famous story that has been told many times is how Zong Rinpoche performed a Dorje Shugden repelling puja to stop the bombardment of Gaden monastery by the Chinese army. As the story goes, the monasteries were being shelled by Chinese cannons and there were still quite a few old and sick monks inside who had not escaped and were in great peril under the Chinese attack. Zong Rinpoche was seen retreating into his chambers to perform the repelling puja during which many eye witnesses saw lights emitting form his chambers and hit the Chinese ...

was Jesus a Tibetan Lama?... BBC Doc.

"Did Jesus Die?" is a documentary produced by Richard Denton, ex-director in the BBC, presenting a theory of crucifixion that originated with Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (peace be upon him), founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. The documentary will be asking the question as to whether Jesus(peace be upon him) in fact survived the crucifixion and whether his being seen after the crucifixion was an example of survival rather than resurrection.
The documentary then examines the question as to where Jesus (peace be upon him) disappeared after the crucifixion, by investigating various claims that he travelled to the south of France and even England. Finally, the documentary raises the evidence that Jesus (peace be upon him) travelled to India, Tibet and Nepal before dying at an old age an...

Part 1: "FROM FRAGMENTATION TO WHOLENESS" This film features the Dalai Lama speaking on the nature of mind and on his personal feelings as leader of the Tibetans in exile, the physicist David Bohm, who explains his theory of the "implicate order"; and interviews with artist Robert Rauschenberg and Russian economist Stanislav Menshikov. Artists, scientists, spiritual leaders and economists gathered in Amsterdam in 1990 to explore the emerging paradigm of a holistic world view and the implications for a global economy. The five day confernce was inspired by the artists Joseph Beuys and Robert Filliou, and manifested by Louwrien Wijers, who called it a "mental sculpture."

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
1) Zong Rinpoche was a Dorje Shugden practitioner. Would a puja performed by Zong Rinpoche be effective since he was a Dorje Shugden practitioner?
Answer: Zong Rinpoche was well recognised to be a high lama with clear attainments. A famous story that has been told many times is how Zong Rinpoche performed a Dorje Shugden repelling puja to stop the bombardment of Gaden monastery by the Chinese army. As the story goes, the monasteries were being shelled by Chinese cannons and there were still quite a few old and sick monks inside who had not escaped and were in great peril under the Chinese attack. Zong Rinpoche was seen retreating into his chambers to perform the repelling puja during which many eye witnesses saw lights emitting form his chambers and hit the Chinese encampment causing a minor earthquake and damage to the cannons. This delayed the bombardment long enough for the remaining monks in the monastery to leave safely. This clearly illustrates the power and effectiveness of Zong Rinpoche’s pujas. Such power and omniscience as shown by Zong Rinpoche cannot be rendered void by the decree of any government. To suggest this is to say that the power of a secular government is more potent than the power of the Buddhas.
2) FPMT performed a traditional cremation for Lama Yeshe, even inviting the great Kyabje Zong Rinpoche, who oversaw every detail. The purpose of this was to generate great merit and create the causes for the Lama to return and continue the lineage and his works. Since this is the case, why did FPMT stop propitiating Dorje Shugden, who was Lama Yeshe’s Dharma protector and a practice he relied on? Why do they insist practice is invalid? Is FPMT being selective in promoting lineages that are politically correct?
Answer: Lama Yeshe’s incarnation has returned as Lama Ösel, but FPMT forbids the Dorje Shugden practice. Perhaps the reason why Lama Ösel has not manifested as a great teacher that we know him to be, is due to the lack of merits on the side of FMPT, most obviously caused by their students breaking their commitments to Lama Yeshe. Lama Yeshe’s main protector whom Lama Yeshe and FPMT relied on, has now been banned in order to remain politically correct, as it is ‘very important to support His Holiness and to fulfil His Holiness’ wishes’. This is a blatant disregard of the guru by students who have received the empowerment or commitment to practice Dorje Shugden. A student cannot stop a practice given unless they have received the permission from the teacher who initially gave the practice and commitment. Failing to do so, the students break their commitments or samaya. As Lama Yeshe has entered clear light, none of the students who have received the practice of Dorje Shugden can stop doing this practice, without breaking their commitments. Once we have made a Dharma connection with a teacher, we cannot give up this relationship unless the teacher himself has consented. This would mean that FPMT is causing the students to break their commitments or samaya with Lama Yeshe by stopping the students from practising Dorje Shugden, in order for FPMT to be seen as an organisation that supports the Dalai Lama.
3) Since Zong Rinpoche is considered tainted due to his practice of Dorje Shugden, shouldn’t FPMT redo the entire funeral for Lama Yeshe, as it was performed by a Dorje Shugden practitioner?
Answer: If we believe that a high lama can be tainted due to his practice of Dorje Shugden, then we are undermining the wisdom of high lamas who can differentiate between a Buddha and a demon. If we believe that Zong Rinpoche and other lamas are tainted due to the practice of Dorje Shugden, then definitely FPMT should redo the entire funeral for Lama Yeshe. This is because it would mean that Zong Rinpoche’s prayers, pujas and rituals for Lama Yeshe would be tainted and invalid. It would mean it has no effect as Zong Rinpoche would have broken his refuge vows, seeing that he is considered a demon worshipper.
In light of this, there would be no validity in recognising the current incarnation of Lama Yeshe – Lama Ösel – as lest we forget, Lama Yeshe himself was a Shugden practitioner and his last rites were performed by a Shugden lama. However, as Zong Rinpoche and most of the esteemed lamas of the Gelugpa lineage are students of Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche, it would be difficult to find a lama who is not tainted. If we go along this line of reason and logic, it would mean 90% of Gelug Lamas today would all be tainted, therefore there is no reason to follow any Lama as all their practices and attainments become invalid.

Following the film screening, a Q&A will be held with Richard Denton, director of "Did Jesus Die?" to answer any questions pertaining to his personal views on the theories covered in the screening, as well as his own experience of visiting the purported tomb of Jesus (peace be upon him). An additional guest to the Q&A will be Arif Khan, as a representative of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community.

The High Lama that Builds

HighLama, we usually associate that title with someone who sits on the throne, wears silk brocade robes, and receives offerings. But His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche chooses to get off the throne onto the contruction site of the temple of Kechara, to personally supervise and give advice at dangerous, dusty, messy place like that, because HE CARES. His Eminence puts into practice what he teaches on the throne.
说到"高僧"一词，我们通常会联想到一位坐在法座上、身穿绸缎袈裟接受众人供养的人，但是尊贵的詹杜固仁波切决定走下法座，到危机四伏、又热又脏又乱的建筑工地里去亲自监督建庙工程，只因他——关心众生。把在法座上所教导的佛法落实在现实生活中，言行一致，这就是——詹杜固仁波切。

High Altitude Climbing on Lunag Ri: David Lama | GoPro Highlights

► CLICK to watch the FULL VIDEO from their expedition: http://win.gs/DavidLamaLunagRi
David Lama and Conrad Anker became the first expedition ever to reach the headwall of Lunag Ri, a 6907 meter high mountain located at the border of Nepal and Tibet. The combination of untouched summit and demanding climbing was incredibly difficult from all sides, and the duo made it further than any expedition in years past. Rough weather conditions and limited time kept them from reaching the true summit, but the ascent itself made for one helluva breathtaking experience. Check out the POV highlights from their adventure, and click the link above to watch the full video from their expedition on RedBull.com!

Boston School Boy Reincarnation Of Legendary 700 Year Old Buddhist Lama

DARJEELING, INDIA: Former Boston School boy, 11 year old Jigme Wangchuck, whose new name is Galwa Lorepa, was discovered two years ago to be the reincarnation of Galwa Lorepa, the high priest and founder of one of the four main schools of Tibetan Buddhism. Jigme claims to have realised his future destiny after a dream about his previous life as a high-priest. He will spend the next ten years studying at the Dali Monastery (Drukpa Sangag Choeling Monastery). His mother Dechen Martsa, Father Choesang Martsa and his sister Norzom Martsa has moved from their home in Boston, USA, to live near their son's monastery.

The Dalai Lama has an infectious and mischievous laugh!

The Dalai Lama is a high lama in the Gelug or "Yellow Hat" school of Tibetan Buddhism, founded by Tsongkhapa (1357--1419). The name is a combination of the Mongolian word dalai meaning "Ocean" and the Tibetan word bla-ma (with a silent "b") meaning "guru, teacher". According to Tibetan Buddhist doctrine, the Dalai Lama is the rebirth in a line of tulkus who are metaphorically considered to be manifestations of the bodhisattva of compassion, Avalokiteśvara. The Dalai Lama is often thought to be the leader of the Gelug School, but this position belongs officially to the Ganden Tripa, which is a temporary position appointed by the Dalai Lama who, in practice, exerts much influence. The line of Dalai Lamas began as a lineage of spiritual teachers; the 5th Dalai Lama assumed political authority over Tibet.
For certain periods between the 17th century and 1959, the Dalai Lamas sometimes directed the Tibetan government, which administered portions of Tibet from Lhasa. The 14th Dalai Lama remained the head of state for the Central Tibetan Administration ("Tibetan government in exile") until his retirement on March 14, 2011. He has indicated that the institution of the Dalai Lama may be abolished in the future, and also that the next Dalai Lama may be found outside Tibet and may be female. The Chinese government rejected this and asserted that only it has the authority to select the next Dalai Lama.
The 14th Dalai Lama (religious name: Tenzin Gyatso, shortened from Jetsun Jamphel Ngawang Lobsang Yeshe Tenzin Gyatso, born Lhamo Dondrub, 6 July 1935) is the 14th and current Dalai Lama, as well as the longest lived incumbent. Dalai Lamas are the head monks of the Gelugpa lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989, and is also well known for his lifelong advocacy for Tibetans inside and outside Tibet.
The Dalai Lama was born in Taktser, Qinghai (also known to Tibetans as Amdo), and was selected as the rebirth of the 13th Dalai Lama two years later, although he was only formally recognized as the 14th Dalai Lama on 17 November1950, at the age of 15. The Gelug school's government administered an area roughly corresponding to the Tibet Autonomous Region just as the nascent People's Republic of China wished to assert central control over it. There is a dispute over whether the respective governments reached an agreement for a joint Chinese-Tibetan administration.
During the 1959 Tibetan uprising, which China regards as an uprising of feudal landlords, the Dalai Lama, who regards the uprising as an expression of widespread discontent, fled to India, where he denounced the People's Republic and established a Tibetan government in exile. He has since traveled the world, advocating for the welfare of Tibetans, teaching Tibetan Buddhism and talking about the importance of compassion as the source of a happy life. Around the world, institutions face pressure from China not to accept him. He has spoken about the environment, economics, women rights, non-violence, interfaith dialog, reproductive health, sexuality along with various Mahayana and Vajrayana topics.

Set Himself On Fire A High Tibetan Lama Golok Tulku Sopa - Calling For Freedom in Tibet

15 Tibetans have Self-Immolated Calling for Freedom in Tibet & Protest against China's 60+ years of Brutality on Tibetans inside Tibet. STAND UP FOR TIBET ! SIGN The Petition on: http://www.StandUpForTibet.org
Link http://phayul.com/news/article.aspx?id=30676&article=Tibet+is+burning+--+Third+self-immolation+in+three+days
January 9: Just a day after two Tibetans set their bodies on fire in eastern Tibet, another Tibetan, a reincarnate lama set himself ablaze on January 8, Sunday.
He urged Tibetans to stay united. Link http://www.rfa.org/english/news/tibet/unity-01202012161051.htmlSonam Wangyal (Sopa), a respected spiritual figure in his early forties from Golok in eastern Tibet passed away on the spot after drinking and spraying kerosene all over his body before lighting himself up according to sources in exile.
Citing sources in Tibet, RFA said that Sopa self-immolated in front of the police station of Darlag (in Chinese, Dari) county in Golog after shouting slogans calling for Tibet's freedom and the long life of Tibet's spiritual leader the Dalai Lama -- demands which have been common to all the 15 Tibetans who have self-immolated in Tibet since March 2011.
In leaflets that Sonam Wangyal distributed just before he set himself ablaze, he stated his fiery sacrifice was not for his "personal glory but for Tibet and the happiness of Tibetans," RFA said quoting a source from inside Tibet.
"The Tibetans should not lose their determination. The day of happiness will come for sure. For the Dalai Lama to live long, the Tibetans should not lose track of their path," Sonam Wangyal said in his last statement.
After Chinese security personnel confiscated his charred body, several hundred Tibetans reportedly marched to the police station to demand his remains.
According to the Dharamshala based Central Tibetan Administration (CTA), around 2,000 local Tibetans held a candlelight vigil urging the local police authorities to release his body.
"The local police averted further tension by agreeing to do so," the CTA report said.
RFA has reported that Chinese security forces are pouring into Darlag "amid indications that thousands of Tibetans are planning to turn up for a memorial service this week for Sopa at a monastery where he had served".
"Chinese authorities tightened security in Darlag, deploying additional security forces from the main town of Golog, as posters praising Sopa's act and calling for a boycott of Chinese goods appeared in the county," RFA report said.
At Bodh Gaya, the venue for the ongoing 32nd Kalachakra teachings, Tibetan pilgrims and refugees from Amdo Golok who have gathered here for the ten-day teachings organised a candle light in the evening to show support and solidarity with the plight of people inside Tibet, especially with the family of Sonam Wangyal.
==========================
Golok Tulku Sopa, highly respected lama of Nyenmo Gonpa in Tharlak set himself in fire the 8th January2012. His mother and father are from Golok Gabde. He had many students and took carre of old people and of many schools in Golok region, Amdo. He was also the head of Toncher Gonpa in Golok. Toncher Gonpa and Nyenmo Gonpa counte together more than 500 monks.
ཨ་མདོ་མགོ་ལོག་ཁུལ་སྤྲུལ་སྐུ་བསོད་པས་རང་ལུས་མེར་བསྲེགས་བཏང་ནས་རྒྱ་གཞུང་ལ་ངོ་རྒོལ་­སྤེལ་བ།
Before his self-immolation, he climbed a local hill, burned incense, prayed and posted many flyers around the walls of Tharlak County.
This is a translation of Sopa tulku's flyer:
I am self-immolating to commemorate Tibetans who have self-immolated since 2009 for our national freedom and religious freedom, and for liberty and freedom of speech.
I am not self-immolating for my personal interests or problems, but I do it for 6 million of Tibetan people who have no freedom and for the retourn of Dalai Lama in Tibet. Tibetan people need to unite to help each other and to work hard for the future of Tibet.
Don't loose hope, there will be a happy day."
Dressed in the yellow outer gown of an ordained monk, he set himself alight at around 6 a.m. after he drank and threw kerosene all over his body. His body exploded in pieces taken away by police.
Lama Sopa was so generous and so beloved that almoust 2000 Tibetan nomads marched to the police station to demand his remains, and when their request was denied, the protesters smashed doors of the local police station to get his remains by themselves.
When the police finally handed over Sopa's remains, the protesters paraded the body in the streets.
Tibetans planned to organize a large prayer session comprising about 2,000 people at Sopa's monastery.

A wonderful 25 minutes interview with His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama.

Chinese people are in need of the “peace, compassion and non-violence” advocated by Tibetan Buddhist culture, the Himalayan region’s exiled spiritual leader has said in a wide-ranging interview with FRANCE 24.
The 79-year-old Nobel Peace Prize-winner stressed the importance of preserving Tibetan culture, pointing to the “gap between rich and poor in China” and the country’s “immense corruption”.
China'sCommunist regime invaded Tibet in 1950. Today, many Tibetans feel their Buddhist culture risks being wiped out by Chinese rule and an influx of settlers from the majority Han ethnic group.
The Dalai Lama fled to neighbouring India in 1959 after Chinese troops crushed an attempted uprising in Tibet. He has never been allowed back.
Chinese officials view him as a “separatist”, though he says he only wants autonomy for the region.
In the interview aired on Wednesday, the exiled spiritual leader suggested hardliners in Beijing were holding President Xi Jinping back from granting genuine autonomy to the Himalayan region.
The Dalai Lama said he had been encouraged by Xi's recent comments on the importance of Buddhism in Chinese culture. "This is something very unusual," he said. "A communist, usually, we consider atheist."
Asked if the remarks led him to believe Xi was ready to discuss calls for genuine autonomy, the spiritual leader said he thought there were "some indications".
"But at the same time, among the establishment, there is a lot of hardliner thinking still there. So he himself sometimes finds it's a difficult situation," the Dalai Lama said.

Dalai Lama's guide to happiness

This video looks at 'Buddhism and Happiness', as we ask are they a match made in heaven or something else? This eight minute epic reveals some incredible insights into human behaviour and values that impact our happiness, particularly in this materialistic Western life so many are living, or reaching for.
The Dalai Lama's talk is from his 'the quest for happiness' public talk in Adelaide during his 'Beyond Religion' tour in Australia.
While we would have ideally used footage of Tibetan monks in this video, we were unable to and instead used footage from our recent trip to Burma, where we acknowledge there may be subtle differences in how Buddhism is practiced. We do not mean to offend anyone by this and if you would like to fly us to Tibet to re-film this we'll happily take up the offer.
